Person
Demetrios Angelos Doukas
Demetrios Angelos Doukas was the last independent ruler of Thessalonica, a son of Theodore Komnenos Doukas. He succeeded his brother John in 1244 with the title of despot, but his unpopular rule alienated the city's nobles, who conspired with the emperor of Nicaea. In 1246 John III Doukas Vatatzes took Thessalonica without a fight and annexed it, and Demetrios was imprisoned in Asia Minor.
